Endoscopic Lipoabdominoplasty
Summary:. Endoscopic lipoabdominoplasty is the surgical technique utilizing endoscopy, as in a conventional abdominoplasty, to repair acquired abdominal wall defects, such as diastasis recti or ventral hernias. A conventional liposuction is carried out through 4 ports, which shall be used later to p...

Endoscopic lipoabdominoplasty is the surgical technique utilizing endoscopy, as in a conventional abdominoplasty, to repair acquired abdominal wall defects, such as diastasis recti or ventral hernias. A conventional liposuction is carried out through 4 ports, which shall be used later to place the laparoscopic trocars for fat removal and supra-aponeurotic undermining. Three trocars are introduced through these ports, one for the camera and the others to introduce surgical instruments. A CO2 insufflation is carried out; the supra-aponeurotic space is undermined up to the xiphoid process. Then a rectus muscle plication is carried out with slow-absorbing sutures in 2 or 3 sections. Two Jackson Pratt drains are placed, and the incisions are closed. The objective of this article is to describe the technique and establish the necessary safety criteria to obtain good results in patients with minimal skin laxity, with moderate fat tissue distribution, with musculofascial diastasis, with ventral hernias, and who do not need or do not accept a visible surgical scar.http://journals.lww.com/prsgo/fulltext/10.1097/GOX.0000000000003346 |
